Did you do anything special to hold the geometry of the car while you cut/welded the new outer long in there? Also, can you notice any shrinkage from the welding you've done there?

Sure, made a bar between mounting point from security belt and door hinge.
You can see it in some pictures. The bar is adjustable, so you can set the right messurement.
No shrinkage till now, but i think there will be some when i weld in the grey part (donßt know the name in english (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) )
I think i will give the door opening 1 or two additional millimeter to compensate the shrinkage. Hope this helps.

In the factory repais manual you can find some chasis measurement. I will try to match them after the welding.
Wish me luck.
In europe there are not so mutch car´s. Realy good ones are rare.
Most of the produced car´s where exported to the US. You lucky guys!!

ahh, looking back, i see the strap you used... very cool.

Is there any solution to shrinkage, or do you just have to live with it?

Maybe slow welding. let it cool down every spotweld to reduce the heat in the metal?

Welding the long took about 2 1/2 hours.

Hi ANdy,
i know that measurements. The problem is how to get them in a restored car.
Should i give them a little plus so that the shrinkage is compensated or adjust the bar at the correct amount and hope that the chasis is strong enough to hold that measurement? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

i would think that with the bracing, shrinkage will be minimal. the chassis can't really move anywhere if it is braced correctly.
i had only the door-braces when my roll-cage was welded in (brace from front hinge to lock plate) and the top of the car shrank about 3 mm ...
if i had braced that as well, i would have been fine.

make a X-Brace from the front targa latches to the rear targa latches,
that will keep your windshield-frame and targa top in place.
that, plus the door braces you already have, you should be fine!

Have a nice weekend

Looks VERY strong! I'm paying very close attention to this thread because unfortunately I'll be making the same repairs in the not too distant future (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Amazing work! Just beautiful. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

My right suspension ear was rotten too. But I was lucky, I guess. The right longitudinal was solid.
